Storyline

- Quotes
Self - Guest: I didn't drink, I still don't drink
Self - Host: uh huh
Self - Guest: so, we had a ball, I'm a dancer too. I stayed on the dance floor all night then I went home
Self - Host: [as Magic laughs] not in the same way other people go home. Some of the stories are so crazy, then it's funny because it's intercut with your family, with your mom and your dad
Self - Guest: yes
Self - Host: and their talking about their little son, how sweet you were
Self - Guest: this nice guy, that's right
Self - Host: this is on the topic of money
Self - Guest: uh huh
Self - Host: when in the documentary, you mention a commercial that made a big impact on you when you were a kid, do you know what I'm talking about?
Self - Guest: yeah
Self - Host: what was the commercial?
Self - Guest: [referring to the name of the product] the Camay commercial
Self - Host: Camay?
Self - Guest: yes, there's this big tub...
Self - Host: [interrupts him] it was soap
Self - Guest: with bubbles and everything, I said "I gotta have that tub one day"
Self - Guest: [to the audience when they and Jimmy laugh] no, no true story, guess what happened? My first house, I made sure they built my bathtub just like that Camay commercial
Self - Host: [after the audience applauds and they give each other a fist bump] your Camay commercial came true
Self - Host: I love seeing some of these guys, I love seeing Larry Bird in there talking about you, I love seeing Michael Jordan and we all know his crazy, right? I mean he's a crazy person, like so his "together", his everybody's idol and all that stuff but there's a lunatic living inside that head
Self - Host: [after returning from commercial break and showing a clip from the documentary] so, you won a championship in high school, in college, in the NBA, obviously and as an Olympian. Has anyone every won all of those things?
Self - Guest: [when thinking it over] I don't think any of them have
Self - Host: yeah
Self - Guest: listen, I only care about winning and I'm still like that today, I just love to win and...
Self - Host: [interrupts him] it was so interesting to talk about caring about winning: your friendship with Isiah Thomas and you guys really bonded so intensely and then you gave him a "shot" in the NBA finals and you guys weren't friends at all anymore
Self - Guest: he was getting in the way of my championship: you can't get in the way of winning for me
Self - Host: yeah
Self - Guest: because I'd hurt you, I'm just that way
Self - Host: remind me to never do that
Self - Guest: yes, because sometimes you "try" me and I have to remind you I played in the NBA, and you played rec ball
Self - Host: barely even that
Self - Host: [after Magic laughs] so there's really an amazing episode of this documentary where you talk about HIV and how you found out and how quickly it all happened and how you had to have a press conference, and you had to tell Cookie, your wife, she was pregnant, you were worried she had HIV
Self - Guest: right
Self - Host: you were worried the baby had HIV, you thought about taking your own life, like "heavy" stuff?
Self - Guest: right
Self - Host: so, then you go through this, everybody's there for you and then you come back, I think it was 1996? I was at that game
Self - Guest: right
Self - Host: it was unbelievable, you beat the Warriors, you played great, it was everything you could've hoped it could be. Next game, you played the Bulls, and what did Rodman and Jordan do in that game?
Self - Guest: oh, man. First of all, they showed me the difference of a championship team and a playoff team, "they" were a championship team and "we" were just a playoff team and they played me so hard, they were physical, they pushed me around
Self - Host: they "roughed" you up
